Join Terry Hanley (SEED Associate Director of Research – Impact) and Carly Chadwick (SEED Knowledge Exchange and Impact Officer) to find out more about work that’s happening in response to the pandemic, and to share good practice for embedding impact into research. The presentations will be from SEED researchers, but the discussion will be relevant to colleagues across Humanities.

Venue: Zoom (please register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/seeds-of-change-how-do-we-evaluate-the-impact-of-our-research-tickets-119217242983)

This will be an opportunity to hear about the breadth of research that is conducted in SEED, and to discuss the ways that this research is making a difference to the communities that we work with.
